Split string based on "\" not working

Question

Hi all,

My program is receiving two strings, one from object and another from  text box. The string in the text box could be easily split according to need but same is not happening in case of string from object.

Here is the code

string test = "Happy\Days";

string[] temp1 = test.Split(@"\".ToCharArray(), StringSplitOptions.None);

string[] temp2 = TextBox1.Text.ToString().Split(@"\".ToCharArray(), StringSplitOptions.None);

Could you guys help me out.

Thanks in Advance,
Arun

Answer 1

Hi,

first of all, your object is string? or anything else..

and you missed @ at the following line

string test = "Happy\Days";

it should be otherwise C# will throw you the error.

string test = @"Happy\Days";

Prakash,

I understand the fact to use @ before string.

The string was raised erroneously due to malfunctioning of one of the modules. Now its working fine and giving string as "Happy\\Days".

Thanks for the help.
